Enjoying a busy career in the eighties, Herrin starred on two covers of Playboy in 1982 and 1983 after being selected as a Playmate.

She appeared on a 1979 episode of Playboy's Roller Disco & Pajama Party and said her family was supportive of her choice to pose in the magazine.

She then became one of ZZ Top's three 'Eliminator girls' in the music video for their 1983 single Legs, famous for the lines: 'She's got legs, she knows how to use 'em.

Herrin was called for an audition to replace a previous blonde 'Eliminator girl' who apparently had not gotten along with the other two.

'I looked in the window into the waiting room and there must have been somewhere around 15-20 beautiful girls,' she told the writer Marc Tyler Nobleman.

'Miniskirts, high heels, perfect hair, nails, and makeup. I came so close to leaving, getting on the 101 freeway, and hightailing it home. I walked into the room and the girls [looked] me up and down, [as if] thinking: "Oh, she’s no competition."'

Herrin recalled: 'They called my name and I met the boys in the band. I apologized for my appearance. Then I asked if anyone had mineral water - or better, a beer. They must have been thirsty, also.'
